To lock: Pull the halyard to the max hoist limit (until the male part reaches the first end stop) to activate the locking mechanism. The system is locked. We recommend to make a mark on the halyard at full hoist which will act as point of reference. However, it is also recommended to apply down pressure on the sail to fully certify the lock is engaged before sailing at full power. -
